It is not surprising that the creator of the biggest streaming platform in the world is now showing his support for NFTs and gaming. According to his own profile, he is currently building for Web3 games and their fans.
Rise of NFTs and the GameFi industry
While blockchain-based games were nothing new even for the previous bullrun of 2017, the market has not seen such an influx of projects into the field as seen during the craze 2020 NFTs.
Following the rapid growth in demand for non-fungible tokens and the gamification trend, the number of GameFi projects on the market exceeded 400 at the end of January, according to DappRadar.
The number of games based on blockchain technology also increased during the second phase of NFT growth. According to OpenSea, NFT collections and authors achieved record revenue in January, surpassing September’s record.
Naturally, with the rapid growth of the industry, some experts from fields relatively close to GameFi became interested in the rapidly developing technology and joined the new trend—just like Justin Kan.
